Many of us were introduced to James Gandolfini when as beefy mob boss Tony Soprano he ambled to the bottom of his North Jersey driveway to pick up his newspaper - The Star-Ledger - in "The Sopranos."

Today, newspapers across the country prominently featured Gandolfini's death on their front pages. Gandolfini went into cardiac arrest in a Rome hotel room and died a little more than an hour later at a hospital.

The headlines ranged from blaring — "Tony Soprano Dead," the headline in the New York Post screamed, to low-key — "His Tony Soprano uprooted mob image" in the Los Angeles Daily News.
